its too bad that the n900 isnt in the competitive market... its more in a developper haven which focuses on producing stuff like remote controllig toy helicopters and making ps3 controllers instead of focusing on software that are any useful for mainstream... all 56 of them.

skynets: the N900 was, unfortunately, positioned as kinda technology demo - for whatever reason, commercial, strategic, etc, they decided not to promote it as a full Nxx or Nx device, and to do more work on the platform before putting a lot of marketing behind it :(

when its worthless to mainstream, its value declines... i bet its still gold for developpers but in the real world this phone tends to be useless for everyday tasks considering the price ppl are still paying

if you just don't like it as a product, just return it - that's not because it doesn't run meego, because I can guarantee you - meego won't improve these things if nokia or intel don't also start to consider them a priority

anyway eq typically is a feature to be integrated into the mp3/whatever decoder, as it's a brainfsck to convert from freq to time domain in mp3 playback, just to do another time to freq domain conversion for EQ, and then back to time domain on a third step

look, the bottom line is, a) this is a meego channel, not to do with the N900, and b) if you'd rather have an android phone than an N900, why did you get an N900? nobody said it would support meego, and you could've gone to #maemo before buying it and asking. :P

w00t_, the n900 app manager is extremely slow and the way you install software from it is so stupid. wait 2 minutes for hte repos to load, then click on the file, ACCEPT the terms everytime.. wait for the download, then the install... then when its done, all the repos reload again.. then you get the the desktop and have to manually add the fucking icons

so the issue of a 315Mb rootfs that doesn't fit into your brainwashed thinking of a OneNAND rootfs, is something that needs to be addresses, it would be nice to have a really cut down rootfs with basic/essential phone functions and thats it

i.e. do away with mandatory scratchbox to development anything, but keep device emulation from it, have all the packages that make up the system closer to the upstream versions, make it easier to maintain them ongoing

something for which I have never had any interest in myself and never looked at Maemo4 or older because Nokia just didn't get what I as customer was looking for, it is still less than 9 months since the first mobile phone release
